George - Our Microchip Miracle!We're still stunned. Wednesday, November 5 2008, we received a phone call from the county Animal Control office. A cat had been brought in that day, found in the south part of town. Following their standard procedure, they scanned him and discovered he had a microchip. They traced the number to me and notified me that they had George. The miracle part - George disappeared in June 1995. Frankly, everyone is stunned. No one who has so far heard this story has ever heard about a pet recovered after so long, and this one is entirely due to the microchip and the fact that we live in the same place with the same phone number. To Avid - we will always be grateful. This is an amazing miracle. To everyone - Yes, he's debilitated, but he's back home and getting care. No, he wasn't abused and hasn't been on his own the entire time. He's extremely affectionate and constantly purring. He's in poor health, but we're hopeful we can help him recover to enjoy his old age. He's 16 years old! We're taking it one step at a time and he's happy! Here's what I wrote about him about 10 years ago. George's story. Reunited with our cat George after 13 years. Click here for the ongoing story.
